Upcoming Market Risks: Why Every Trader Needs a Downside Hedge This Week

As we head into a week stacked with economic and political events — the upcoming FOMC meeting and election, to name a couple — the market feels primed for some potential turbulence. 

There’s a real chance for a pullback in the near term, and being prepared with a solid protection strategy could make a big difference for anyone looking to weather the possible downside.

First off, it’s not about going all-in on a bearish position…

Rather, it’s about being tactical with a safety net in place. Personally, I’ve already added a layer of downside protection ahead of next week’s anticipated FOMC meeting, where the Fed is likely to make waves with another rate announcement. 

In fact, even though this potential rate cut may feel like it’s just catching up with the market, the event will likely influence short-term price moves across multiple sectors.

To prepare, I’m considering adding another hedge early next week — Monday or Tuesday — stay tuned for what I end up doing. 

There’s a case to be made for building in multiple layers based on varying market conditions. Right now, I’m eyeing everything from major indices to individual stocks like Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) to set up for potential short-term plays, with specific entry points in mind if we see a pop back up before another decline.

Let’s not forget — this period could just be the calm before the storm. If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s the market's ability to catch traders off guard. 

Whether we see a quick pop to new highs or a more drawn-out dip, having protection in place is about maintaining flexibility. After all, there’s no room for complacency in markets like these.

Consider keeping a close eye on liquidity trends, as a flush out in global liquidity could pull U.S. markets down with it. With the potential for multiple rounds of downside, a well-timed hedge is less about “if” you’ll need it and more about “when.” 

By layering in targeted protection, we give ourselves the chance to stay agile and capitalize on those moves — without getting sidelined if the market takes a surprise turn.

As always, stay prepared and ready to adjust, because when the market makes a move, it rarely waits around. This isn’t about making a bet…

It’s about having the right tools in place when things get bumpy.

ONE Mag 7 TIcker I’m Watching
 
 
Check this out…
 
 
 

This is a chart for one of the big tech stocks, which has a little over a 30% gain over the past year... 

What that means is, if you had just bought and held the stock last year, you would be up 30% by now.

While that isn't bad, it's not worth it in my opinion...

Especially when you consider that any trader could have had a shot at 100% ROI — in just one week.

Now, these cycles only happen once in a while on certain stocks — which is probably why not everyone pays attention to them

But get this… 

When they do happen, you and I have a shot at what could be a double in just one week.

In fact, as I write this, there's a Mag 7 stock Graham’s watching this week.

And if all goes as planned, we can tap into this stock's "profit cycle" this week for a shot at a 100% ROI…

That’s why I want you to join Graham at 11:15 a.m. ET TODAY, Nov. 4, for a special broadcast — where we'll reveal exactly how he trades these profit cycles, and share the Mag 7 ticker that could pay a 100% ROI this week!

While we can't promise future wins or prevent losses, this could be a way to leave those measly 30% gains per year in the dust!

How the Daily Chart Setup Works
 
 
Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:
 
1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market Roadmap Line. 

2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this could take days, weeks or even months. 

3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that signals an entry. 

I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years!

You can grab my Market Roadmap Indicator here for just $5 — less than a cup of coffee at most places!
